Performance considerations for distributed computing
We now know how to develop distributed systems. But what about their performance? What kinds of things should we be aware of in terms of the performance of distributed systems?
The first consideration is the network connection between clients and servers. TCP collisions can result in lost packets of information. This can corrupt communication between multiple devices and cause connections to time out. The most common reason for TCP collisions is when two or more computers share the same IP address.
No computer on the same network should have the same address as another computer on the same network. This results in unpredictable network behavior that is detrimental to the performance and stability of a networked application. If you experience this situation, simply change the IP address of one of the computers to a different IP address.
Another problem that can result in slow network communication is Domain Name Resolution...
